My First 2015 Grab

Mind as well post my first 2015 piece, a silver greek. Was a price I couldnt pass up, despite some of its flaws, details are all there.

Adding a silver greek of any kind is a big woo hoo for me.

Nice!

 

Super coin! Sikyon silver is definitely on my want list.

 

Very nice Mat, i agree with John, on my want list!!!!

 

Thats one of my favorite coins to have, and where else can you find a coin with a chimaera on it?

I believe I have its twin.

 

Nice pick up. I actually got mine from another of our brethern here on CT.

 

Wow Mat, that's a beautiful addition ... congrats on the sweet animal-coin!!

I also have a rockin' example (mine is a Stater rather than a hemidrachm) ...



... man, I'd love to score a hemidrachm to hang-out with my lonely Stater!!

 

Nice Mat! A type I'd like as well

 

Great first pick up. I also need to purchase one of these. I truly love the stater denomination. I must say all denominations of this pigeon series are interesting and artistically appealing.

 

It is a really beautiful type. Nice examples one and all.

 

Great add-ons guys. Would love a stater but they are usually out of my budget.

 

=> well ya horny dawg, if you didn't blow all of your cash "chasing tail" then perhaps you'd be able to afford a Stater every now and then?!!



... just jokes, Mat ...

=> you rock in 2015 (aka => the year of the awesome Greek animal-coins!!)

 

Nice one Mat! Way to charge out of the gate in 2015. That type is on my want list.

 

Well, I did get a different tail...a Chimaera tail ;D

Thanks RB.
